Navy Week Open Day, 2005 Photo Gallery
  Navy week in Sydney usually always culminates in a fantastic open day at Fleet Base East at Garden Island, Sydney.  Members came from Newcastle as well as all over the Sydney area.   We arrived early to get set up and Navy had done well and provided us with a great Army marquee and enough tables to display the fleet. 

As well at the models, there was plenty for everyone to do including guided tours of several of the RAN's finest for our members and the public to crawl all over.   

A successful day was had by all but by the time the 4 o'clock bell went, we had pretty well had enough and it was time to go home and have a rest.    All ready to go again next year boys?
